The US Federal government seems to be focused primarily on using the following three - both in alphabetical order and order of preference (your milage may vary):

* Microsoft Teams
* WebEx
* Zoom

Much of our attention has been paid to the inclusion of human generated/professional captioning/CART - all three of which now support - so that we're not foisting or forcing auto-generated captioning on Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons, not that auto-generated captioning isn't still being used by far too many agencies.

Some federal agencies have looked at ScreenReader compatibility but none have addressed speech recognition/Dragon compatibility, to my knowledge.
